we'd have a hard time getting 1 one four inch number on our minibot, even if you cut it up into little pieces and spread it all around the motor casings and battery pack.

Will probably engrave it into the aluminum because that doesn't add weight!
What are the dimensions of your mini bot? I know ours is at least 8" long, 4" wide and 4" deep so we wouldn't really have a problem putting numbers on it.

As far as it adding weight, if you can't spare the weight of two pieces of cardboard with some numbers on them, then you're probably doing it wrong. Also, you're going to want your mini bot to be clearly distinguishable as yours during the match, assuming that you're not planning on deploying it and sitting at the tower for the last ten seconds.
